神经科学哲学博士

纽约大学的神经科学教育拥有数十年的卓越和实力历史。历史上专注于两个独立的博士课程，即神经科学博士学位课程（艺术与科学学院）和神经科学与生理学博士学位课程（萨克勒学院，医学院），神经科学教育现已统一起来，并吸引了多个部门的教师，跨学科中心和校园。纽约大学的神经科学培训计划有一个单一的申请和招生委员会，由两个行政部门提供服务。
Understanding the brain is one of the great scientific challenges. How does the nervous system allow us to sense, move, learn, decide, remember, and think How are the underlying neural circuits built by genetic and molecular programs How do neurons communicate via synapses to transmit and store information What goes wrong in neurodevelopmental disorders like autism and schizophrenia, and in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease And how can we model neurons, circuits and systems to better understand the brain Graduate students in our PhD program in neuroscience are addressing these questions at labs located across NYU, using cutting-edge tools drawn from genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, electrophysiology, microscopy, computer science, data science, and mathematics. This website is designed for you to learn about graduate training in neuroscience at NYU.​Our program arises from two cooperative centers located just a few city blocks apart: the Center for Neural Science (CNS) and the Neuroscience Institute (NI). CNS, located at NYU’s Washington Square campus, is home to core neuroscience labs, has affiliate labs in biology, psychology, physics and data science, and is NYU’s portal for undergraduate neuroscience education. The NI is located at NYU’s school of medicine and houses additional core neuroscience labs, as well as affiliates from clinical departments and the Nathan Kline Institute. Together, CNS and NI serve as the joint pillars of graduate training in neuroscience at NYU, with research spanning genetic, molecular, cellular, developmental, systems, behavioral, and computational levels. Prospective graduate students apply through a single online portal and applications are jointly reviewed by a single admissions committee that spans CNS and NI.
